Pretty good for the price
I bought this effect so I could get that classic 80s sound, and compression is a key component. This pedal does a credible job for a pretty reasonable price.
Positives: it's very solidly constructed; I can't see myself breaking it. The controls allow it to be dialed in pretty much any way you want it. Best of all, it sounds GREAT with a clean tone (think Def Leppard's "Hysteria).
Negatives: the footswitch isn't super smooth (there's a solid "click" when you step on it; not a deal-breaker but something I find somewhat annoying and which more expensive brands avoid). Like many compressors, it's pretty noisy with overdrive; this may be something I can overcome by playing with pedal order or adding a noise gate, but it is pretty aggravating nonetheless).
Bottom line: I would buy it again. Although I'd love to use it for more sustain in overdrive, I'm satisfied with the improvement it brings to my clean tone.

Looks great, well made , great value for the construction, dissapointed by the actual compression levels acheivable.

Noisey but good
If you really want a lovely classic smashed guitar sound with a bit of dirt, this is your pedal. It does produce a slight noise when plugged in, so not fantastic for prestine compressed clean sounds, but still very very good for the price

Best compressor in this price range
Amazing tones come from this pedal I had never had a compressor before and risked buying it but now I could not be without it.

Great pedal
Not had any noise issues with this pedal but do use isolated power not daisy chains.
Good sustain, compresses sound well when attack is turned all the way to the left it’s at its full compression, looks great a nice vintage look with the chicken head knobs. Overall very happy gives your clean tone a nice clean, sustained sound with it levelling out the notes.
